Hey y'all. Do you like sci fi shows? Then I suppose you've heard about this one show called Firefly, which lasted only one season, and had a movie. I believe it was the Fox network that cancelled it, if I'm not mistaken. Now, Fox is notorious for cancelling stuff, but this time, you have to wonder if they did it right.
Of course, you might be one of those fans that can see no wrong in Firefly. I ask you at this time to set aside your enjoyment of the show and consider what I'm saying for a bit. After all, it's good to see the other side of things once in a while, and it's always possible to enjoy something that isn't perfect. For example, there apparently was once a blogger who claimed Captain Picard was a wuss. Instead of getting offended, I examined some episodes of Star Trek: TNG to see. He's not a coward, but he did have a hard time getting Deanna Troi's mother to leave the transporter room, and acts as if he's got no spine whenever she's mentioned.
But this isn't about Star Trek. In fact, it's really unfair to compare Firefly to Star Trek, so I'm not going to do that...for the most part. There's some storytelling aspects that are acceptable to compare. However, Trek is generally idealistic and Firefly isn't, so I won't compare a lot.
So anyway, this series is the story of several future people flying around in their spaceship Serenity, doing various jobs legal and illegal, whatever happens to come their way and will earn them money. They have to stay far away from the central planets, because the big ol' government has taken over and of course cannot be trusted.
Hm. I wonder if that's a stereotype...
